[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
The only real thing I hate about the gnex is the on screen buttons... I also didn't notice hardly any difference in speed and smoothness over the nexus s4g. However I was recently told that it is much faster with a custom rom and kernel. I was using it stock.

Alright Kid,

I'm happy that the bugs weren't conflicts with Pool Party and v20. Now I want to try some screen off levels I think. I remember you mentioning you were trying some settings. What's the verdict and the specs if it is working smooth for you?

Yea man I rooted and flashed OpenKang and Matr1x on a friends GNex and it was really awesome, faster than my Nexus S. Still holding off until the next nexus. Stay in touch though and enjoy!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Shadow Death:
That's the impression I got as well. An old college classmate of mine had rooted and slapped in a custom kernel the first chance he got. Though, I say gnex now, but I've got about another year on this contract and there's no telling what will catch my eye by then. :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] blizzake:
So I'm on slim ics now and the kernel runs perfectly fine @ stock voltages vs + 25 on fergies miui.... Anything rom specific that would cause this?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
I don't do different versions of the kernel, but would you guys mind me disabling fsync on this one? It will boost I/O performance but there is a risk of data loss...

Can you take the risk? :D
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jasonmaloney:

Same here. I'm 98% certain that I'll make the switch, been drooling over it for a while, especially at 199 for sprint with all that storage and quality, and the pebble blue finish makes me happy :) so, matr1x? Eh? Ehh? EHH? :-)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] TransWarp:
I really, really, really want to like the Galaxy Nexus. It has a great chassis and fits comfortably for one-handed use. But it's hard to overlook:

1. The 5mp camera isn't much better than on our NS4G, despite being able to record 1080p.

2. No micro SD. And you can't buy the 32GB model from Google.

3. The onscreen buttons, while cool, take up 84 pixels. So the screen is really 1196x720. Maybe 84 pixels isn't a lot to some people but that's 6.5% of the screen. I want all my pixels.

The promise of fast Google updates is a huge draw but it's not enough to win me over. So I'll probably hop on the GSIII bandwagon also. I'll be attending the Sprint/Samsung event in Boston next Tuesday. I need to hold a GSIII in my hand to see how it feels before deciding. Though I'm not likely to stick with Sprint and their lousy 3G speed. A lady at my work recently humiliated me with her new TMO myTouch and laughed as web pages popped on her screen while I stood there starring at the ICS blue progress bar. Well, it's a nice progress bar at least! :D

Anyone else have this problem - since installing v20 I have had consistent shutdown of google processes (like exchange, mediaserver) after a few hours of no issues following a reboot.

Ok, kernel update!

Just a quick note about FSync Control:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/14685-28-may-glados-v134/page__st__700#entry607555

To keep fsync enabled, just leave the kernel as is because it is enabled by default.

To disable it, do either:

1. echo 0 > /sys/class/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled in terminal emulator

2. Go into /sys/class/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled in root explorer and save the file with the '0' value

Happy flashing!

fsync disabled

not too shabby.

but a benchmark is not going to tell you how how your user experience will be! As far as the possibility of data loss, i plan on leaving fsync on for daily use.

fsync is disabled if the flag is set to "0"

also your I/O score on a benchmark app like quadrant will be higher
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Shadow Death:
It's actually very simple. You will need to download a program from the market called Terminal Emulator.

Then once installed you will open the emulator and type the following to disable it:

echo 0 > /sys/class/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled

To re-enable it you type

echo 1 > /sys/class/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled

0 = off

1 = on

Echo is a standard command that repeats everything after it until the next command.

So if I type Echo Hello the terminal repeats "Hello".

The > command takes whatever is before it in the command line and puts it into the file that follows it.

echo hello > hi.txt

the text file named hi.txt will have the word "hello" inside it.

Give it a shot some time, IMO Linux is way more fun from the command line. Also as a teacher of mine once said, if you work with a mouse and point and click for a living people see it and think... "wow.. I can do that". However, if you can do it all from the command line, they think you are some kind of programming GOD! lol

I may have messed something up here but it's early and I'm tired. I made two separate 2 hour round trips today and I'm beat.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chalan30:
good explanation Shadow! also y'all can get rom toolbox (or romtoolbox pro totally worth it!) and set that command to run from an icon on your desktop with the app's "command shortcut" option

if you want to benchmark, try with on demand instead of performance, and peg the min and max. Also try live oc a bit to get that gpu working overtime. Im currently using kangorade black ice 38.1 rom (based off AOKP) with stock voltages, on demand, live OC set at 105 (oc target high at 1460) and cpu min and max at 1533. with fsync off this was the highest I got with 20.5. Mind you i dont leave it like this for regular use. for daily driving i leave live oc at 105 but use intellidemand or ondemand at 105/1365

---------- Post added at 02:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 AM ----------

i personally dont keep it off. just for benchmarking. this is from the link mathkid provided a few pages back. its from ezekeel's rootz wiki post

"These fsync syscalls are used by kernel modules and user space programs to flush an I/O buffer (which is in RAM) to disk to make sure that this data is actually savely stored on the disk before executing the next step. Disabling fsync can result in data loss on a crash/freeze since the data is still in the I/O buffer and has not been saved to disk as it should be and can also lead to problems due to race conditions if two or more processes access the same file. On the other hand disabling fsync reduces the number of I/O operations which potentially could reduce the battery drain and also improve I/O performance."
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] androidforeve:
Super weird before I could go into recovery with just my power button and go to recovery updated to 20.5 and only way was holding power volume and volume up I backed up before upgrading to 20.5 restored back to 20 and now I can go to recovery just with power button again I hope that makes sense

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Shadow Death:
Thank you. Last semester here at the college I spent many nights during the week trying to get Rocks Viper to work on my cluster. Ugh, huge PITA. A class mate and I stayed here many nights till 12am trying to get it to work. One mistake on instillation and BOOM you start over. TBH I've always had a love for linux. The first desktop rig I built ran an AMD Duron 1000 with 512MB of ram sporting Red Hat Linux, back when it was still free mind you.

Back on the subject of his kernel, it's definitely a lot snappier than it was before. I read over Ezk's thread and from what I understand Fsync just pages info to disk on every command in-case the command causes the app to crash? If this is right then they're making our phones do the work twice which would explain why it eats battery as fast as it does.

I have to admit, when MK moves on to another phone, the Nexus S will be left with the *cringes* OTHER kernels. >.>

Kernel Issues

So here is the update that has seemingly begun after going from 20.0 to 20.5, settings are all the same as I was running, the only thing that changed was the kernel.

Having all kinds of issues with the phone lagging, and just freezing or locking up, takes a battery pull to re-set, prior to this i don't think i had to do a battery pull for a month or so.. Apex launcher is constantly getting no responding issues and closing - for the most part when i click on the fb app, it goes to a black screen with the navigation bar up top, but will never open the fb app and just freezes, takes a pull to reset... any thoughts? Bad download? or juste go back to 20.0?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SA-07:
Nah I can't reproduce those issues... I would say reflash the kernel
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Kevin cracolici:
Yeah thats what I am doing right now - cleared dalvik and reflashing - will see what happenes
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] NYYFan325:
Hey kid I had some issues with 20.5 as well....

Flashed 20.5 last night... was fine overnight and through most of the day today. Went to open an app and the app just froze on the splash screen. Tried using my fav hold back to kill trick, but nada phone was locked.

I did a battery pull and after powering up it stayed on the CM9 boot animation for 5+ minutes and never fully booted. Battery pulled again... this time booted to OS. After 2-3 mins it rebooted itself again.

I reflashed 20.0 and it's been gold since. I don't overclock or undervolt and I run at 1GHz using ondemand.

Haven't had any issues in many many versions of your kernel so I'm inclined to think 20.5 may have a little gremlin somewhere in there...
